A group of dedicated young people from Sibongile who call themselves the Dream Team are changing lives in their community.
The team has donated food parcels to five needy families. The money was raised from musical shows held by the team who then collect money to help deserving people.
One such family was the Mazibukos in the lower Lindelani area.
One of the relatives, Bongani Mhlungu, is in a wheelchair and shares a one-room shack with another five family members where there is no water, no electricity and no toilet.
Their only income is through several child grants; the oldest child is 13 and the youngest eight.
The adults told the Courier that the family had been staying in the shack for several years and have to walk about 800metres to collect water.
Hopefully, with people like the Dream Team their lives can also improve…
